Textures et mouvements de vagues, syncopes en douceur, espace, balancement...
Un disque à écouter le soir, allongé, un verre à portée de main, toutes lumières éteintes. Un pur régal, facile d'accès mais néanmions exigeant.
Merci Per.
This work is an outstanding set of experimental tracks that touches several styles of music with a common frame of looping. The tracks shows a great deal of experimentation and musical bravery. Maybe they are not easy to listen for everyone, but you manage to create a sound of your own and to reach some kind of "ectasis" wall of noise and sound that I believe is what Philip Glass was all about in monolithic compositions like "Music in Twelve Parts" or "Einstein on the Beach", or Steve Reich's "It's gonna rain". Like it or not, you have created a piece of pure minimalism beauty. I love the way you use the flute as a percussion in a very Jethro Tull/locomotive breath fashion in pieces like "Running Librarians" or "Infiltrating the Machines".
Regarding the cover, I have to say I disagree with SaReGaMa. I find the cover pretty cool, it has a somewhat "beatlesque" feel to it (Yellow Submarine?). Some very good (Gong) or even commercial (Gorillaz) bands have made wonderful music or money with this kind of covers, so I think you should keep using them, don't let anyone tell you that you should put a more "successful" or "commercially" aimed cover.
I find your work amusing, will listen to your other albums.
A clever musician, an involving and inspired construction on Minimalist basic elements, enriched with many good sounds and flavours. No more to say...a work that deserves many and many listenings.
Fans of serious music - don't miss this one.
It was very intriguing to listen to those experiments, it's a good work but it didn't catch me, too subtle and too abstract for my taste.
I seen this album on Jamendo so many times but never gave it a try, you know why - because of that idiotic cover. I saw that flash cartoon of yours, ok, it's cute, but choosing it for cover...Heh!
Please don't underestimate the importance of a good catchy cover 'cause that what brings the audience to you. It's the first thing people see, they don't see the music behind it, and if the cover design is good they click on it.
How pathetic it may sound it's true.
to express myself in this case is ultra hard, but i should say this - this one should remind you why are you wandering through-out jamendo anyway... superb (read: s u p e r b ! ! !) production with nearly every track as a masterpiece, now how about that!?! i admire your work whoever you are - for me you're one of the few living magicians around
Fantastic!. If you are into experimental live music, don't miss this album!. One man band? The answer: unbelievable looping wizardry. Mouth beatbox is enjoyable. Also those jazzy phrasing with sax and EWI demonstrate that we are in front of an accomplished performer. References? I'm going to try with only this one: Jon Hassel's "Aki Darbari Java [magic realism]". One of my favourite albums of all times!. Skilled live loopist!.
I came upon this album looking for improvised music, but was a bit disappointed when I found this album. Not because it sounded bad, no.. far from it. It just didn't sound improvised the least bit! It's that well done. The album is has a lot of stuff going on, but still manages to be pretty calm.
Really nothing bad to say about it, although I'd love to see you experiment with more ambient soundscapes. :)
I can only say so much - unique!!
stavo ascoltando le varie proposte sulla categoria minimal...alquanto delusa....quando finalmente ascolto le prime note del vostro album....favolose!
sto continuando ad ascoltare con piacere anche il secondo brano, e mi dico che dovrò sicuramente riascoltarlo più di una volta...
splendido! un magico ritorno al sax.
ed il terzo brano...sembra proprio rappresentare la caccofonia
italiana! ahahahhahah
continuate cosi!
Is absolutely fantastic! Per carry us in a word made by air, make us fly with him and with his impossibile rhitms, voices, sounds. Something that remembers me the liquidity of a clear blue sky. Sounds textures are created used and then destroyed, sounds grow by down and some else kick us by left or by right, it seems a multidimensional acoustic world in which to loose ourselves letting sounds carry us to mysterius worlds. The timbric of the flute sinth sometimes remembers me the great Jon Hassel but... without regrets! So Per continue by this way!
